This document provides an overview of PROFIBUS basics, including:
- PROFIBUS allows for high-speed data exchange between active stations like PLCs and passive stations like field devices using the same cable and components.
- It supports functions like parameterization, I/O configuration, data exchange, and diagnostics between a master and slave devices in a cyclic manner.
- The configuration tool allows users to select parameters and I/O for devices with electronic data sheets to enable plug-and-play functionality.
